The existence and persistence of liquidity effects: evidence from a large-scale historical natural experiment
The discovery of mines of precious metals in Central and South America led to a massive exogenous monetary injection to Europes money supply. I argue this episode can be helpful to identifying the causal e¤ects of money in a macroeconomic setting. Using a panel of six European countries for the period 1531-1790, I nd strong evidence in favor of non-neutrality of money for changes in real econ...
متن کاملMicroinsurance, Trust and Economic Development: Evidence from a Randomized Natural Field Experiment∗
How does access to formal microinsurance affect economic development? We report results from a large randomized natural field experiment conducted in southwestern China in the context of insurance for sows. We find that providing access to formal insurance significantly increases farmers’ tendency to raise sows. We argue that this finding also suggests that farmers are not previously efficientl...
متن کاملHeterogeneous dynamics, aggregation and the persistence of economic shocks
It has been recently emphasized that, if individuals have heterogeneous dynamics, estimates of shock persistence based on aggregate data are significatively higher than those derived from its disaggregate counterpart. However, a careful examination of the implications of this statement on the various tools routinely employed to measure persistence is missing in the literature. This paper formal...
متن کاملBusiness cycles in Iran: Evidence from asymmetry and correlated shocks
In this Paper, business cycle asymmetry in Iran has been investigated using a nonlinear unobserved component model. In this regard, according to Kim and Nelsonchr('39')s (1999) interpretation of Friedman plucking model (1993), asymmetric transitory component has been modeled and simultaneously the possibility of a correlation between transitory and permanent shocks has also been considered. The...
متن کاملRegional Migration, Insurance and Economic Shocks: Evidence from Nicaragua
In developing countries, the large majority of migrants move inside their own countries or to neighboring regions, yet there is limited evidence on whether internal migrants represent a source of insurance for their household of origin or vice-versa. To test whether transfers sent and received by migrants serve an insurance role, this paper estimates the causal impact of income shocks at a migr...
